Beulah Harris

Beulah Harris was born on February 11th , 1929 in Gaston County. Her parents were Emory Thomas and Cleo Thomas. She learned to make pottery from her great-grandmother Sally Gordon. She also learned from Sara Ayers, Georgia Harris, Viola Harris, Nola Campbell and Artemis Harris. She began making pottery when she was seven years old. She enjoys everything about making pottery but especially, how much it relaxes her. Beulah's signature pieces are the peace pipe, wedding jug, and small round bowl. She is passing the craft on to the next generation by teaching her children and great-grandchildren.
